San Felipe, NM (April 18th, 2009) - Bumper Jones
battled to victory lane in the fiercely contested UMP West Modified 25
lap feature at Hollywood Hills Speedway. Jones stood victorious after
holding off several charges from a stout group of UMP Modified
competitors as he captured his second win of the weekend.
Jones took control of the race from his 5th place starting position,
showing the way around the high side of the fast 3/8 mile clay oval.
Johnny Scott and RC Whitwell put the pressure on Jones with Scott
moving into the lead on lap 19. Lapped traffic would prove fatal for
Scott as he and Jones got together halting action and ending his
chance at victory. "I feel really bad, he is a really good friend and
I hate to win this way" explained Jones in a post race interview.
Whitwell, after pressuring Jones for the final six circuits, would
settle for the unfamiliar show position. Allen Sharpenstein, Curt
Barnett and Stormy Scott rounded out the top five of a stellar 41 car
field.
Kenny Ford paced the field in the street stock feature event. Ford
out dueled Jeff Whyman and Lalo Saenz in a door banging battle to the
finish line. Eric Nelson and Ronnie Bell filled in the remaining
positions earning top five honors.
Jon Paques led a super competitive field of Hobby Stocks across the
finish line, making a clean sweep for the night. Paques held off top
contenders Dan Harmon and Shane Kapinski for his first victory of
2009.
Ren Johnson received 1st place hardware in Dwarf Car action edging out
JC Gileland and Randy Haugen.
Greg Midel earned the top of the podium in the Cruisers with Delbert
Chavez and Mike Sullivan filling in the top three.
